[1985 CCX]

I would say that your car was probably stiffer, my AC and the gold car are very much like an original in feel. The chassis do flex, the AC MKIV is slightly stiffer than original MKIII as it did get a few added steel bars for DOT reasons. MKII are flexing all the time.

My Gold (buggy) car is sharp in turns, much like Jim's however he may have more spring than I do. Mine rides fairly supple, also have more sidewall than Jim which may be the result of more supple feel. Keep in mind the coilover cars were an evolution and much improved over the 50's buggy chassis with stiffer frame and better 4 corner independent suspension.

Hope this helps. I have never driven an ERA, driven race 427's and street 427's along with street 289's.
